Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly season the catfish fillets with some seasoned salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and a splash of hot sauce.

Next, heat a bit of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the catfish for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side until they get a nice light brown color. Then, spread the mustard sauce generously on both sides of the fillets and pour any leftover sauce over the top.

Step 3
Scatter sliced bell peppers, onions, and garlic over the fish in the skillet. Pop the whole thing into the oven and bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, which should take around 15 to 20 minutes. Enjoy!
